Day 30..Lisbon day 2
our original plan was to do another Hop on Hop Off bus tour today as we went on a tour of Lisbon on last year's cruise...... a
mixup occurred and we all decided to catch a ride to downtown Lisbon on
the bus... we walked around the pedestrian only street with some
friends from the ship including Ruth..Fran and Bill...the pastry shops
just kept on 'calling us' so a 'timeout' had to be made at a pastry shop
and outdoor cafe which we remembered from last years visit here where
we tried an assortment of delicious pastries and a cappuccino which I
might add was quite 'different' from any cappuccino we've had in Spain
and Italy.. and pretty darn good too... we walked thru the main square
watching the 'street people' performing their musical acts.. since this
was a Sunday downtown was not as busy as it normally is.. off the main
street and walking area a lot of the shops were closed.. we doubled
back and after a couple of hours hopped onto the '728' bus taking it
back along the waterfront a few stops back to the ship... we walked by
the train station ..got some free wifi there.. had some more chestnuts
at our favorite vendor..took a few pics with him and it was back onboard
for our sailaway back along the tagus River passing by the statue of
Christ at the bridge at 330pm... after dinner we had an invite to a
cocktail party on the Lido deck... a pretty nice fun filled day in a
very nice city.. ship's internet still super-slow to post a lot of pics
